The health benefits and quality-of-life outcomes of a fit musculoskeletal system (musculoskeletal fitness) are reviewed in this article. The World Health Organization suggests health is a state of complete physical, mental or social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Physical health includes such characteristics as body size and shape, sensory acuity, susceptibility to disease and disorders, body functioning, recuperative ability and the ability to perform certain tasks. One aspect of physical health is the musculoskeletal system, which consists of 3 components; muscular strength, endurance and flexibility. Muscular strength (dynamic) is defined as the maximum force a muscle or muscle group can generate at a specific velocity. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions against a load for an extended period of time. Flexibility has 2 components, dynamic or static, where dynamic flexibility is the opposition or resistance of a joint to motion, that is, the forces opposing movement rather than the range of movement itself. Static flexibility is the range of motion about ajoint, typically measured as the degree of arc at the end of joint movement. If strength, endurance and flexibility are not maintained, musculoskeletal fitness is then compromised which can significantly impact physical health and well-being. Many health benefits are associated with musculoskeletal fitness, such as reduced coronary risk factors, increased bone mineral density (reduced risk of osteoporosis), increased flexibility, improved glucose tolerance, and greater success in completion of activities of daily living (ADL). With aging, the performance of daily tasks can become a challenge. Additionally, falls, bone fractures and the need for institutional care indicate a musculoskeletal weakness as we age. The earlier in life an individual becomes physically active the greater the increase in positive health benefits; however, becoming physically active at any age will benefit overall health. Improved musculoskeletal fitness (for example, through resistance training combined with stretching) is associated with an enhanced health status. Thus, maintaining musculoskeletal fitness can increase overall quality of life. Show

 Medically reviewed by Gregory Minnis, DPT, Physical Therapy — Written by Emily Cronkleton on October 31, 2019 Muscular strength relates to your ability to move and lift objects. It’s measured by how much force you can exert and how much weight you can lift for a short period of time. Examples of exercises that develop muscular strength and power include resistance training, such as weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, and resistance band exercises. Running, cycling, and climbing hills are also options. Read on to learn more about the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance, as well as muscular strength benefits, cautions, and exercises. While muscular strength and muscular endurance are similar in some ways, they have some key differences. Muscular strength is determined by how much force you can exert or how much weight you can lift. Building muscular strength uses heavier weights for fewer repetitions. Muscular endurance refers to the ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time. Activities that build muscular endurance include long-distance running, cycling, or swimming, along with circuit training and bodyweight exercises. You can improve muscular strength and endurance by doing repetitive movements until the point of exhaustion. Muscular strength enhances overall health and boosts athletic activity.
To build muscular strength, size, and power, do exercises and activities that make you work your muscles harder than normal. Since you’re focusing on getting stronger, you may want to try to intensify the exercises by using heavier weights and increasing your body resistance, even if it means that you do fewer repetitions. Do these exercises at least two times per week. If you don’t have time for a longer session, squeeze in a few sets throughout your day. Watch this video for a demonstration of some of the following exercises. SquatsSit into a chair as you squat to make this exercise easier. To increase the intensity, hold dumbbells or a bar at chest level. Biceps curlFor this exercise, you’ll need dumbbells or a barbell. Modified pushupOnce you’ve mastered the form of this exercise, try doing standard pushups with your knees raised and your feet extended behind you. Forearm plankThis plank variation is a good option if you have concerns with your wrists. Abdominal crunchThis exercise targets your back and core to promote stability and good posture. Jumping jacksThis cardio exercise will help to get your heart rate going and your blood pumping while also building strength in your lower body. Use caution when starting a strengthening exercise program if you’re new to exercise or have any injuries or medical concerns. Here are a few tips to help you avoid injury:
If it’s an option, talk to a personal trainer to set up an exercise program if you’re new to fitness or simply want an expert opinion. Your trainer will help you build and maintain the motivation that it takes to stick to your exercise routine and get the results you want. Working with a professional ensures that you’re doing the exercises correctly and efficiently. They’ll help you stay on track, make sure you’re using proper technique, and advance the exercises when you improve. If it’s not possible to work with a professional, find a training partner. You can help each other stay motivated and make sure you’re both using proper technique. Challenging your muscles to work harder than usual on a regular basic can help you build muscular strength. To stay on target and meet your fitness goals, it’s essential that you develop a routine that you enjoy. Change it up as often as you like to prevent yourself from getting bored and to target different muscle groups. Along with weight and resistance exercises, amp up your usual activities, such as climbing stairs or carrying heavy bags, to build muscular strength and endurance. Make a point to incorporate more of these everyday tasks into your daily routine so you can enjoy the benefits of a strong body. Last medically reviewed on October 31, 2019 Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time. The greater your muscular endurance, the more reps you can do of a certain exercise. It is just one of the components of muscular fitness, along with muscular strength, flexibility, and power. In strength training, muscular endurance refers to the number of repetitions of a single exercise you can do without needing to stop and rest. Examples include how many times you can do a full squat, a sit-up, or a biceps curl with a light-to-moderate weight before breaking form. Muscular endurance is muscle-specific. In other words, you may have more endurance with squats than biceps curls. It all depends on which muscles you train. The type of muscular endurance used during cardiovascular fitness activities such as running, swimming, or cycling is usually called cardiovascular endurance or cardiorespiratory endurance and is different from the strength training definition. Endurance training for these types of physical activities builds the energy systems of the body, the muscle fibers, and capillaries that can sustain long periods of exercise, such as running a marathon or cycling a 100-miler. Muscular endurance is important in everyday activities, such as climbing three flights of stairs to get to the floor where you work or carrying a heavy bag of groceries from the car to the house. In sports, muscular endurance helps you better compete. Some studies have found that muscular endurance training can improve sports performance. A 2017 study in Frontiers in Physiology noted that cross-country skiers who did this type of training had better double poling performance. Research has also found that, when combined with standard resistance training (lifting weights to build muscle), muscular endurance training helps improve blood sugar and insulin levels for people with type 2 diabetes. It can also reduce injury risk. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends testing your muscular endurance when starting a strength training program. This helps you know where you began, while also making it easier to track your progress along the way. The push-up test is often used to measure upper body muscular endurance. To do this test, do as many push-ups as you can before you break form. This may also be a timed test to see how many you can perform in a minute. Once you have your number, you can compare how your performance matches up with others in your age and sex category. By tracking this number over time, you can see increases or decreases in your upper body muscular endurance. You can do muscular endurance testing on your own or, if you're working with a trainer, they may use this type of test to set the right intensity and loads for your exercises. Even the U.S. Army uses push-up tests to assess the muscular endurance of its recruits. An effective muscular endurance training program uses lighter weights while doing a higher number of reps. Research has shown that this approach appears to be the most effective for improving local and high-intensity (or strength) endurance. The principles below can be applied to a novice, intermediate, or advanced muscle endurance training workout. They are based on the American College of Sports Medicine's position on weight training and resistance training. The exercises you choose should work large muscle groups (such as the legs or back) or multiple muscle groups (such as the upper body and core). Add variety by including exercises that target one or two limbs or one or two joints. The National Academy of Sports Medicine recommends doing exercises such as squats, bench presses, cable rows, and lunges to help build your muscular endurance. Load refers to the amount of weight or resistance you use (a 10-pound dumbbell or setting the leg press machine to 110 pounds, for instance). Volume is the number of times you do the exercise or the total number of repetitions. Ideally, you want to choose a load (weight) that is less than half of the maximum weight you can push, pull, or lift one time. This is considered a light to moderate intensity load. If you are a novice or intermediate exerciser, aim to perform 10 to 15 repetitions for one or two sets. If you are an advanced exerciser, plan to do a little bit more, or anywhere from 10 to 25 repetitions per set. Short rest periods should be used for muscle endurance training. Rest one to two minutes for high-repetition sets (15 to 20 repetitions or more) and less than one minute for moderate (10 to 15 repetitions) sets. Circuit training is good for building local muscular endurance and the rest periods during this type of exercise should only fill the time it takes to move from one exercise station to another. Frequency refers to how often you should do a workout that focuses on building your muscular endurance. This frequency is similar to that for building larger muscles. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) suggests:
Repetition velocity refers to how slow or fast you contract your muscles during specific exercises. Different speeds of contraction can be used based on the number of repetitions.
The National Strength and Conditioning Association says that training based on velocity can help enhance physical performance. Muscle endurance training must be related to your target activity, whether it's doing barbell squats or running a marathon. You likely have limited time for training each week, and you have to consider whether you spend it doing specific muscle endurance training or practicing your sport. What is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time?Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions against a load for an extended period of time.
